Palmyra Vision 7B

Palmyra Vision is a multimodal model trained on PixMo, a dataset of 1 million high-quality image-text pairs.

Serving with vLLM (Recommended for Production)

The fastest way to deploy Palmyra Vision is using vLLM's Docker container:

bash

docker run --rm \
    --gpus all \
    --shm-size=128g \
    -v /path/to/palmyra-vision:/model \
    -p 8000:8000 \
    --ipc=host \
    vllm/vllm-openai:latest \
    --model /model \
    --served-model-name palmyra-vision \
    --trust-remote-code \
    --tensor-parallel-size 1 \
    --max-model-len 4096 \
    --gpu-memory-utilization 0.90 \
    --dtype float16

Once running, the server exposes an OpenAI-compatible API:

bash

# Text completion
curl http://localhost:8000/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "palmyra-vision",
    "messages": [
      {"role": "user", "content": "What is 2+2?"}
    ],
    "max_tokens": 50
  }'

# Vision/Image input
curl http://localhost:8000/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "palmyra-vision",
    "messages": [
      {
        "role": "user",
        "content": [
          {"type": "text", "text": "Describe this image."},
          {"type": "image_url", "image_url": {"url": "https://picsum.photos/id/237/400/300"}}
        ]
      }
    ],
    "max_tokens": 200
  }'

Multi-GPU Serving

For multi-GPU setups, adjust --tensor-parallel-size:

bash

# 2 GPUs
--tensor-parallel-size 2

# 4 GPUs
--tensor-parallel-size 4

Quick Start (Python / Transformers)

To run Palmyra Vision with the transformers library, first install dependencies:

bash

pip install einops torchvision

Then, follow these steps:

python

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoProcessor, GenerationConfig
from PIL import Image
import requests

# load the processor
processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained(
    'Writer/palmyra-vision',
    trust_remote_code=True,
    torch_dtype='auto',
    device_map='auto'
)

# load the model
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    'Writer/palmyra-vision',
    trust_remote_code=True,
    torch_dtype='auto',
    device_map='auto'
)

# process the image and text
inputs = processor.process(
    images=[Image.open(requests.get("https://picsum.photos/id/237/536/354", stream=True).raw)],
    text="Describe this image."
)

# move inputs to the correct device and make a batch of size 1
inputs = {k: v.to(model.device).unsqueeze(0) for k, v in inputs.items()}

# generate output; maximum 200 new tokens; stop generation when <|endoftext|> is generated
output = model.generate_from_batch(
    inputs,
    GenerationConfig(max_new_tokens=200, stop_strings="<|endoftext|>"),
    tokenizer=processor.tokenizer
)

# only get generated tokens; decode them to text
generated_tokens = output[0,inputs['input_ids'].size(1):]
generated_text = processor.tokenizer.decode(generated_tokens, skip_special_tokens=True)

# print the generated text
print(generated_text)

#      perspective. The puppy is sitting on a wooden deck, which is composed ...

To make inference more efficient, run with autocast:

python

with torch.autocast(device_type="cuda", enabled=True, dtype=torch.bfloat16):
  output = model.generate_from_batch(
      inputs,
      GenerationConfig(max_new_tokens=200, stop_strings="<|endoftext|>"),
      tokenizer=processor.tokenizer
  )

We did most of our evaluation in this setting (autocast on, but float32 weights)

To even further reduce the memory requirements, the model can be run with bfloat16 weights:

python

model.to(dtype=torch.bfloat16)
inputs["images"] = inputs["images"].to(torch.bfloat16)
output = model.generate_from_batch(
    inputs,
    GenerationConfig(max_new_tokens=200, stop_strings="<|endoftext|>"),
    tokenizer=processor.tokenizer
)

Note that we have observed that this can change the output of the model compared to running with float32 weights.

FAQs

I'm getting an error a broadcast error when processing images!

Your image might not be in RGB format. You can convert it using the following code snippet:

python

from PIL import Image

image = Image.open(...)

if image.mode != "RGB":
    image = image.convert("RGB")

Palmyra Vision doesn't work great with transparent images!

We received reports that Palmyra Vision models might struggle with transparent images. For the time being, we recommend adding a white or dark background to your images before passing them to the model. The code snippet below shows how to do this using the Python Imaging Library (PIL):

python


# Load the image
url = "..."
image = Image.open(requests.get(url, stream=True).raw)

# Convert the image to grayscale to calculate brightness
gray_image = image.convert('L')  # Convert to grayscale

# Calculate the average brightness
stat = ImageStat.Stat(gray_image)
average_brightness = stat.mean[0]  # Get the average value

# Define background color based on brightness (threshold can be adjusted)
bg_color = (0, 0, 0) if average_brightness > 127 else (255, 255, 255)

# Create a new image with the same size as the original, filled with the background color
new_image = Image.new('RGB', image.size, bg_color)

# Paste the original image on top of the background (use image as a mask if needed)
new_image.paste(image, (0, 0), image if image.mode == 'RGBA' else None)

# Now you can pass the new_image to Palmyra Vision
processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained(
    'Writer/palmyra-vision',
    trust_remote_code=True,
    torch_dtype='auto',
    device_map='auto'
)
